| Publisher Description: A young actor from Italy and a wardrobe designer from Illinois find each other in New York City at a time when same gender marriages are not recognized by the law. Fed by a pure, unconditional love for one another, they merge souls and skills for a decade. Collecting great highs and deep lows, their life together revolves around 8-shows-a-week both on and off Broadway. A marriage that survives civic discriminations, cultural differences, immigration struggles, and HIV, ultimately finds an unexpected curtain call. "Alternately heartbreaking and hilarious " "Beautiful, pure, deep and unfailing in its honesty. I read it straight through" "A courageous tale of strength, will and the commitment of love and passion. Honest and real." "A beautiful accounting of love and loss at a time where there was not equal protection under the law." "His stories don't just cut to the bone. They also heal." "This is a story of unflinching truth, heroic courage and the unshakeable force of redemptive love." If you want to get in touch with the author |
